ABSTRACT

Disclosed is a composition for use as a pest control agent, comprising a compound represented by formula (I) or an agriculturally and horticulturally acceptable salt thereof as active ingredient and an agriculturally and horticulturally acceptable carrier:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a composition for use as a pest control agent comprising a pyripyropene derivative as active ingredient.

2. Background Art

Pyripyropene A has inhibitory activity against ACAT (acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase) and is expected to be applied, for example, to the treatment of diseases induced by cholesterol accumulation, as described in Japanese Patent No. 2993767 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 360895/1992) and Journal of Antibiotics (1993), 46(7), 1168-9.

Further, pyripyropene analogues and derivatives and ACAT inhibitory activity thereof are described in Journal of Society of

Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan (1998), Vol. 56, No. 6, pp. 478-488, WO 94/09417, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 184158/1994, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 239385/1996, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 259569/1996, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 269062/1996, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 269063/1996, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 269064/1996, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 269065/1996, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 269066/1996, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 291164/1996, and Journal of Antibiotics (1997), 50(3), 229-36.

Furthermore, Applied and Environmental Microbiology (1995), 61(12), 4429-35 describes that pyripyropene A has insecticidal activity against larvae of Helicoverpa zea. Furthermore, WO 2004/060065 describes that pyripyropene A has insecticidal activity against Plutella xylostella L larvae and Tenebrio molitor L. In these documents, however, there is no specific description on insecticidal activity of pyripyropene A against other pests.

Further, none of the above documents describes insecticidal activity of pyripyropene analogues and derivatives.

Up to now, many compounds having insecticidal activity have been reported and have been used as pest control agents. However, the presence of insect species, which are resistant to or can be hardly controlled by these compounds, has posed a problem. Accordingly, the development of a novel pest control agent having excellent insectidal activity has still been desired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present inventors have now found that pyripyropene derivatives represented by formula (I) have significant insecticidal activity.

The present inventors further found that pyripyropene A and its derivatives represented by formula (Ia) have significant insecticidal activity against hemipteran pests.

Furthermore, the present inventors have found novel pyripyropene derivatives represented by formula (Ib) having significant insecticidal activity.

The present invention has been made based on such finding.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a composition useful as a pest control agent, that comprises a pyripyropene derivative having significant insecticidal activity as active ingredient and can reliably exhibit the contemplated effect and can be used safely. Another object of the present invention is to provide a hemipteran pest control agent that comprises pyripyropene A and its derivative as active ingredient and can reliably exhibit the contemplated effect and can be used safely. A further object of the present invention is to provide a novel pyripyropene derivative having significant insecticidal activity.

The terms “alkyl,” “alkenyl,” and “alkynyl” as used herein as a group or a part of a group respectively mean alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl that the group is of a straight chain, branched chain, or cyclic type or a type of a combination thereof unless otherwise specified. Further, for example, “C₁₋₆” in “C₁₋₆ alkyl” as used herein as a group or a part of a group means that the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group is 1 to 6.

Test Example 1 Pesticidal Effect Against Mvzus Persicae

Among the compounds of formula (I) produced by the conventional method described above, the compounds shown in Tables 1 to 14 and pyripyropene A were tested for pesticidal effect.

A leaf disk having a diameter of 2.8 cmφ was cut out from a cabbage grown in a pot and was placed in a 5.0 cm-Schale. Four adult aphids of Myzus persicae were released in the Schale. One day after the release of the adult aphids, the adult aphids were removed. The number of larvae at the first instar born in the leaf disk was adjusted to 10, and a test solution, which had been adjusted to a concentration of 20 ppm by the addition of a 50% aqueous acetone solution (0.05% Tween 20 added) was spread over the cabbage leaf disk. The cabbage leaf disk was then air dried. Thereafter, the Schale was lidded and was allowed to stand in a temperature-controlled room (light period 16 hr—dark period 8 hr) (25° C.). Three days after the initiation of standing of the Schale, the larvae were observed for survival or death, and the death rate of larvae was calculated by the following equation.

Death rate (%)={number of dead larvae/(number of survived larvae+number of dead larvae)}×100

As result, it was found that the death rate was not less than 80% for compounds of Nos. 1, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 44, 45, 49, 54, 56, 57, 61, 69, 76, 82, 85, 86, 88, 90, 91, 98, 103, 106, 107, 108, 109, 111, 125, 128, 133, 135, 137, 139, 142, 153, 160, 161, 162, 164, 167, 169, 170, 171, 172, 176, 180, 182, 183, 186, 187, 190, 196, 201, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 236, 237, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, and 274 and pyripyropene A.

Test Example 2 Pesticidal Effect Against Mvzus Persicae

Among the compounds of formula (I) produced by the conventional method described above, the compounds shown in Tables 1 to 14 and pyripyropene A were tested for pesticidal effect.

A leaf disk having a diameter of 2.8 cmφ was cut out from a cabbage grown in a pot and was placed in a 5.0 cm-Schale. Four adult aphids of Myzus persicae were released in the Schale. One day after the release of the adult aphids, the adult aphids were removed. The number of larvae at the first instar born in the leaf disk was adjusted to 10, and a test solution, which had been adjusted to a concentration of 0.156 ppm by the addition of a 50% aqueous acetone solution (0.05% Tween 20 added) was spread over the cabbage leaf disk. The cabbage leaf disk was then air dried. Thereafter, the Schale was lidded and was allowed to stand in a temperature-controlled room (light period 16 hr—dark period 8 hr) (25° C.). Three days after the initiation of standing, the larvae were observed for survival or death, and the death rate of larvae was calculated in the same manner as in Test Example 1.

As result, it was found that the death rate was not less than 80% for compounds of Nos. 12, 23, 28, 45, 54, 56, 76, 82, 85, 86, 90, 164, 201, 205, 206, 207, 212, 213, 217, 218, 219, 222, 227, 228, 229, 231, 232, 233, 237, 239, 240, 242, 246, 247, 249, 250, 252, 253, 256, 258, 261, 262, 264, 265, 266, 267, 269, 270, and 271.

Test Example 3 Pesticidal Effect Against Plutella Xylostella

Five larvae at the second instar of Plutella xylostella were released in the cup. The cup was then lidded, and the larvae were reared in the temperature-controlled room (25° C.). Three days after the treatment, the larvae were observed for survival or death, and the death rate of the larvae was calculated in the same manner as in Test Example 1.

As a results, it was found that the death rate was not less than 80% for compounds of Nos. 76, 213, 218, 237 and 250 at a concentration of 500 ppm.
